Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 7.7% between them.

    (7,092 + 5,970) ÷ 14,155 = 92.3% · 1,093 ÷ 14,155 = 7.7%

  2. Turnout of 52.5% was 3.7 pp above the state's median seat (48.8%).

    52.5 − 48.8 = +3.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 26.3 pp in 1967 to 7.9 pp.

    7.9 − 26.3 = −18.4 pp
